RE: [asa] Medicine and Evolution

How did the Greeks, Egyptian, etc. manage their engineering achievements
without any knowledge about "evolution?"

With all due respect, Rich, your being an engineer has NOTHING do you
with your argument. A person could be a street sweeper, a day dreamer or
a basket case and make the same argument. Everyone SHOULD be aware of
their health. And so...?

Your being a 'consumer of health care' carries no particular expertise
on the topic of 'Medicine and Evolution.' Why not listen to others
instead of ideologizing? Nothing you have ever 'engineered' has
'evolved' into existence (engineers choose to engineer)!

There's a similar phenomenon when holloywood actors & actresses talk
politics. It's not that no one is listening to them, but that their
views are often not accorded a high level of significance.
